Repair of a universal joint yoke - possible?

Chris Green · 2018-10-07T14:42:57+00:00

One of the UJT yokes on our Kubota tractor has failed, one of the 'arms' is broken so no longer retains the needle roller bearing. Is there any sane way of repairing this as replacements seem nearly impossible to find. It's a bit of a strange design as the yoke goes direct onto a flanged shaft (i.e. it has an internal spline) so finding a non-Kubota replacement is unlikely. However if anyone can recommend suppliers of (small) UJTs with splined connections I'd be interested.

I think it was worth running a bead with a MIG over the yoke and seeing how it files across the parent metal. If it goes well and is machineable build it up, squeeze the ends parallel and get it line bored.
